Ben Hutchings 747df2258b sfc: Always map MCDI shared memory as uncacheable
We enabled write-combining for memory-mapped registers in commit
65f0b417de, but inhibited it for the
MCDI shared memory where this is not supported.  However,
write-combining mappings also allow read-reordering, which may also
be a problem.

I found that when an SFC9000-family controller is connected to an
Intel 3000 chipset, and write-combining is enabled, the controller
stops responding to PCIe read requests during driver initialisation
while the driver is polling for completion of an MCDI command.  This
results in an NMI and system hang.  Adding read memory barriers
between all reads to the shared memory area appears to reduce but not
eliminate the probability of this.

We have not yet established whether this is a bug in our BIU or in the
PCIe bridge.  For now, work around by mapping the shared memory area
separately.

Ben Hutchings 65f0b417de sfc: Use write-combining to reduce TX latency
Based on work by Neil Turton <nturton@solarflare.com> and
Kieran Mansley <kmansley@solarflare.com>.

The BIU has now been verified to handle 3- and 4-dword writes within a
single 128-bit register correctly.  This means we can enable write-
combining and only insert write barriers between writes to distinct
registers.

This has been observed to save about 0.5 us when pushing a TX
descriptor to an empty TX queue.

Ben Hutchings e5f0fd2780 sfc: Read MC firmware version when requested through ethtool
We currently make no use of siena_nic_data::fw_{version,build} except
to format the firmware version for ethtool_get_drvinfo().  Since we
only read the version at start of day, this information is incorrect
after an MC firmware update.  Remove the cached version information
and read it via MCDI whenever it is requested.

Steve Hodgson 18e3ee2cf9 sfc: Fix event based MCDI completion and MC REBOOT/CMDDONE ordering issue
The mcfw *never* sends CMDDONE when rebooting. Changing this so that it always
sends CMDDONE *before* REBOOT is easy on Siena, but it's not obvious that we
could guarantee to be able to implement this on future hardware.

Given this, I'm less convinced that the protocol should be changed.

To reiterate the failure mode: The driver sees this:

 issue command
 receive REBOOT event

Was that reboot event sent before the command was issued, or in
response to the command? If the former then there will be a subsequent
CMDDONE event, if the latter, then there will be no CMDDONE event.

Options to resolve this are:

 1. REBOOT always completes an outstanding mcdi request, and we set
    the credits count to ignore a subsequent CMDDONE event with
    mismatching seqno.

 2. REBOOT never completes an outstanding mcdi request. If there is
    no CMDDONE event then we rely on the mcdi timeout code to complete
    the outstanding request, incurring a 10s delay.

I'd argue that (2) is tidier, but that incurring a 10s delay is a little
needless. Let's go with (1).

Ben Hutchings f18ca36461 sfc: Reduce log level for MCDI error response in efx_mcdi_rpc()
Some errors are expected, e.g. when sending new commands to an MC
running old firmware.  Only the caller of efx_mcdi_rpc() can decide
what is a real error.  Therefore log the error responses with
netif_dbg().

Ben Hutchings 62776d034c sfc: Implement message level control
Replace EFX_ERR() with netif_err(), EFX_INFO() with netif_info(),
EFX_LOG() with netif_dbg() and EFX_TRACE() and EFX_REGDUMP() with
netif_vdbg().

Replace EFX_ERR_RL(), EFX_INFO_RL() and EFX_LOG_RL() using explicit
calls to net_ratelimit().

Implement the ethtool operations to get and set message level flags,
and add a 'debug' module parameter for the initial value.

efx_mcdi_poll() uses positive error numbers, matching the MCDI
protocol.  It must negate the result of efx_mcdi_poll_reboot() which
returns the usual negative error numbers.

Ben Hutchings 5a27e86bab sfc: Use fixed-size buffers for MCDI NVRAM requests
The low-level MCDI code always uses 32-bit MMIO operations, and
callers must pad input and output buffers to multiples of 4 bytes.
The MCDI NVRAM functions are not doing this.  Also, their buffers are
declared as variable-length arrays with no explicit maximum length.

Switch to a fixed buffer size based on the chunk size used by the
MTD driver (which is a multiple of 4).

Ben Hutchings 55029c1d65 sfc: Fix polling for slow MCDI operations
When the interface is down and we are using polled mode for MCDI
operations, we busy-wait for completion for approximately 1 jiffy
using udelay() and then back off to schedule().  But the completion
will not wake the task, since we are using polled mode!  We must use
schedule_timeout_uninterruptible() instead.

Ben Hutchings afd4aea03f sfc: Add support for SFC9000 family (1)
This adds support for the SFC9000 family of 10G Ethernet controllers
and LAN-on-motherboard chips, starting with the SFL9021 'Siena' and
SFC9020 'Bethpage'.

The SFC9000 family is based on the SFC4000 'Falcon' architecture, but
with some significant changes:

- Two ports are associated with two independent PCI functions
  (except SFC9010)
- Integrated 10GBASE-T PHY(s) (SFL9021/9022)
- MAC, PHY and board peripherals are managed by firmware
  - Driver does not require board-specific code
  - Firmware supports wake-on-LAN and lights-out management through NC-SI
- IPv6 checksum offload and RSS
- Filtering by MAC address and VLAN (not included in this code)
- PCI SR-IOV (not included in this code)

Credit for this code is largely due to my colleagues at Solarflare:
